One rather major issue w/ the PPT:

You need an exclusive lock on CFX, CFFILE, and CFHTTP calls.  If you
readonly lock them, then multiple clients will be allowed into the
locked section, and that's a BadThing(tm).

You'll want to use named locks on those, not scoped.  Something like
below:

<cflock name="AllaireCybercashTag" timeout="60" throwontimeout="yes">
<CFX_CyberCash ....>
</cflock>

Make sure all applications on the same server use the same lock name
for the same tags.  As a prime example, we had Allaire's CyberCash
tag on two sites on the same server.  Since the tag is NOT
threadsafe, it occasionally killed transactions.  That was especially
annoying when sending batches, since the crash always happened AFTER
the batch was sent to CyberCash.  That meant the batch HAD been
committed, but our server had no way of knowing that & updating its
records appropriately.  Adding a named lock to all calls to
CFX_CyberCash on both applications fixed those problems completely.

Other than that, the presentation looks fairly accurate.  Any chance
you could record the event & share the MPG with us somehow?

Best regards,
Zac Bedell
